In the winter, I like anything that's cooked low and slow. Something that fills the whole house with wonderful aromas. Hearty soups, stews, gumbos ect... Also roasts such as a beef rib roast or a roast pork shoulder or nothing is better than a simple baked chicken on a cold Sunday evening. I also seem to like greens better when it's cold outside. Kale or collard greens cooked with a smoked ham hock or two.

Actually, we here in the hinterlands of Virginia can enjoy absolutely terrific top-rate sushi as often as we like. Have several wonderful Japanese restaurants within a 10-mile radius - one of which serves sushi that is as good - if not better - than anything I ever had in NY.
